  • Description: AbstractImmediately following vacuum infiltration of 45Ca into ‘Katahdin’ potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) the label was distributed within the tuber in the following manner: 45%, 20%, and 35% in the stem end, bud end, and middle section, respectively. Initially, the bulk of the radioactive calcium was localized 0–5 mm below the periderm layer. However, over a 60–day period, the calcium moved toward the center of the tuber. Temperature had no effect on this process.
